Turning this off is not a good idea if there is an emergency.

If he wants to, we cannot force him not to do it. Anyway, on emergency the police can override it.

No, it's not!

This is normal behavior that you didn't know was always happening behind the screens.

I knew this would be a bad idea with good intentions.

Do you want emergency services to be able to find you in case of an emergency?

This is normal, it takes a peek for a split second. The only reason you are now noticing it, you keep checking for it. It is not draining your battery anymore than it previously was.
